** One of the most famous ''Gilligan'' episodes concerns some local people who may have occasional contact with civilization. They need a White Goddess to "marry" their volcano god. The castaways agree that one of the men should disguise himself so the ceremony can proceed up to a point, with the rest of the men following the procession from a distance. This leads to what is probably the most famous GilliganCut in the series (there were several).

* In one of the Chaos Emerald Saga episodes of ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', Robotnik sacrifices Scratch and Grounder to Magma the Volcano God in order to obtain a Chaos Emerald from him. Since Magma's lava is really volcanic mud, Scratch and Grounder survive.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/AllHailKingJulien'', one of evil genius Karl's plans to defeat Julien involves impersonating the lemurs' sky god Frank to deliver a message that the Volcano god Larry (Frank's brother) is angry and demands Julien be sacrificed to him.
* ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals'': In "S.S. Banana Cabana", Octo is captured by crabs who want to offer his legs to a volcano so it won't erupt.
* The ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'' episode "Legend of the Volcano Sisters", revolves entirely around the boys' attempts to appease the titular Volcano Sisters, portrayed by Uniqua and Tasha, in order to stop them from pressing a BigRedButton that will make the volcano erupt. As it's a show aimed at preschoolers, nobody is sacrificed, and the girls are appeased by being invited to the boys' luau.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'' reveals that the campers and staff at Camp Kidney sacrifice whatever their favorite food is to a volcano called Mt. Blackhead--when Lumpus selfishly refuses to sacrifice his chicken pot pie (endangering not only himself, but everyone else at the camp as well), the volcano (which can apparently talk) threatens to erupt unless Lumpus sacrifices his chicken pot.
* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'' played with this once, with the idea of the angry volcano god being used as a distraction and a front for evil activity by the episode's villain.

The Brain gains the natives' approval by claiming to be a devotee of said volcano god.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' has Bikini Bottom threatened by a bizarrely close volcano. An expert on the subject states that the sacrifice must be the most miserable person in town, which is Squidward, but at the end the volcano somehow gets plugged with his house, which is what he actually meant before he was interrupted.
* In ''Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'' episode "Too Hot to Handle", there ''is'' an actual fire god inside the volcano... Until King Koopa captures and impersonates him, demanding Princess Toadstool be thrown into the volcano as part of yet another attempt to kidnap her. In spite of Mario, Luigi, and Toad's best efforts, the natives succeed in throwing Toadstool in, at which point King Koopa's mooks catch her and take her to him.
